•Mistletoe Meme!•

The Situation:
Crew members who were on Stacy last December remember this. Because GLaDOS is a troll, she has positioned little sprigs of mistletoe on the ceilings of areas of the ship. In hallways, at the entrances to quarters, in a department doorway, at a tavern, she doesn't care how inconvenient it is!

It'd be less inconvenient if it were voluntary, but in this case, the sneaky AI has deployed shields around people who wander under the mistletoe that have not been broken by any known alternate method so far. Any attacks against the shield are absorbed. Attempts at attacking the mistletoe get you singed. The only way to be freed from the confines of your little bubble is to receive some form of affection from another crew member---a strong hug will work for the really uncomfortable, but at least a cheek kiss is expected for most. If GLaDOS wants a mouth kiss, though, let her push for one! Species equivalents of kisses/affection are also acceptable.

So---you're stuck until someone comes to rescue you with a kiss, kids. Have fun, thank you for participating in this crew study experiment, and watch out for the nargles!

((Characters not in the game are of course welcome to join too! It's just on this community this year because it's proven difficult to fit the event around December's plots.))

I was hoping that I could pull you out if I reached in... but now that we're stuck in here... [she lets out a sigh, rubbing her sides a bit - that stung just a tad!]

Now what...?

Starfire nodded slowly, pounding against the shield.

"I have been told that people who stand underneath this plant are meant to kiss, but surely she cannot intend..."

She's not sad because she despises the act of kissing, it's a worry about Sasami and her boyfriend.

Sasami blushes at the idea. The two of them? Kiss?

"Sh-she wouldn't...! I-I mean, I..." Sasami stammers. Negi wouldn't do anything bad if they had to... right? And it was just a one-time thing...

"Mmmn...!"

[starbolts]

"I know it is upsetting. Would you prefer to wait or contact someone else?"

Starfire still worried. She wanted her friend to be comfortable.

Sasami lets out a deep breath, considering her options.

"...I don't mind, Star-chan." she said, smiling to reassure her. "Besides, it's just for this, right?"

[starbolts]

"Yes, and then we will avoid these plants."

Starfire nods, leans down, and gives her friend a light peck on the cheek.

"Right."

She closes her eyes, blushing as Starfire kisses her cheek. As she does, she gives Star a peck in kind. "It wasn't so bad..."
